TriLight Designs is the umbrella name for 3 designers, known as 'TriLights' - it will be a showcase for previous work based on 3 main areas, web, photography and graphics. 'Web' covers website (interface) design, as well as website coding and development. 'Photography' covers various genres of photography, portrait, fine art, commercial work and photo editing. 'Graphics' is a very wide area and as such can relate to commercial graphics, logo design, web-related graphics or even just icons and smilies...

Currently in development the site will provide a resource for people interested in these areas. The site will contain a portfolio for the designers, each one having their own place to showcase their work. It will also contain blogs for each designer, whether it be a new tool or technique they've found to what they've been working on and doing recently, it'll give users and viewers a chance to see into the normal lives of the 'TriLights'. A tools of the trade section will give you a look into what the designers use to create their work, be it a code editor for writing scripts to a full-blown photo editing package for tweaking those photos. Tips and tricks will be listed in their own section and will contain brief instructions on how to create effects, write some code or even tweak your camera settings for your current location - it'll be a place for viewers to learn the techniques that the 'TriLights' use to create their work.

I'm working on the back-end for the site (in php) at the minute - I've been doing some .htaccess work with mod_rewrite for some nicer looking (and search engine friendly) URL's:

Example:

Code:

http://www.trilightdesigns.co.uk/admin.php?action=login

-becomes-

Code:

http://www.trilightdesigns.co.uk/admin/login/

Just a little more friendly on the eyes (and on the search engines)

I'm hoping to get some AJAX in there too once the site's backend is done, I'm also hoping to code a Javascript (cookie-based) style-switcher (hence the little coloured squares in the top right hand corner)

Any feedback on the site would be great

Many Thanks
-Matt

I like it but I would make the top right boxes smaller they don't look quite right

I like the footer! It has the feel of a wordpress theme, would be cool if it was

I've been thinking of removing them boxes as I've not coded the styleswitcher yet and they do just kind of 'get in the way' - I'll sort them out soon

I like the big footer part, I've got to add some stuff to it.

I've finished the news system, I'm going to do the blog system next, that's going to be an edited version of the news system I'm using, it'll take a while to get it all finished (as it's just me coding the site when I feel like it) but I'll get there
